IPhone 4s low light blurry photos

All the pictures I take in low light settings are extremely blurry, sort of like foggy. Is this happening to any of you guys? I allow it to focus, but ALL of them come out blurry.

They did not exchange it. From what the genius told me is that HDR was on during low light situations and should be on. Not sure if it's BS or not. He said the 4S processes images differently because of the 5 lens, etc...
I never had this problem with the iPhone 4 though. I left HDR on all the time and thought it automatically turned it off during low light situations?
I havent tried anything since upgrading to 5.01 so I need to try taking low light pix.

Iphone 5S low light video recording is very dark :(

Hello Friends,
I bought a new iphone 5S and its few days only since i have been using this phone
and i never tested video camera before.
recently i came to know while taking some video in a low light situation, i noticed that the video is **** dark and
it looks pathetic though in image mode the camera appeares to be good and its clearly brighter.
but when i switch to video mode it becomes very darker.
I did some comparison just to confirm my suspicion and in fact it turns out that videos are worse quality than videos that i shot with my iphone 4S, i tried all possible settings but nothing worked,
i did restore my phone twice by assuming it is a software issue however i still believe it might be a software issue because when i am using 3rd party app to take video everything is perfect. even if i am using the same camera feature through imessage/whatsapp by directly accessing camera it works fine.
i don't know what exactly the problem is
please friends help me....if anyone has faced the similar problem.
Thank you

Hello there, ankitnavgwal.
Good job on troubleshooting your issue so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers a great checkllist of practical steps for troubleshooting issues with iOS not functioning as expected:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

IPhone 5 (OS 6) & blurry photos?

This is how the picture, taken with an iPhone 5, should look when viewed on an Phone 5:
This is how the same picture above looked when I loaded it tonight:
I've never had this issue where an image is displayed incorrectly by iOS. To fix it I had to restart the iPhone 5. I guess I should be glad that fixed it.
Anyone else have this issue?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Blue streaks in low light photos? iPhone 4s

Is anyone else having blue streaks show up on iphone 4s photos? Only happening in low light/indoor photos. Daylight photos are great. I don't have a case on either. Any thoughts?

Definitely a hardware issue. Took it to the Genius Bar, they swapped the camera out of my phone (didn't know they could do that) in about 15 minutes.

Blurry, out of focus, grainy low light photos Noki...

Hi,
I have had a Nokia N95 8GB since April and on the whole I am really happy with everything apart from the camera. Day time shots as far as I can tell are OK but night time/indoor/low light shots are a different story. A lot of shots are grainy, the flesh tones don't look right (face shots have odd red speckling) and very often the shots are simply out of focus or very blurred (like camera shake). This despite me trying to be very careful to keep the camera totally still. I have also experimented with different settings - custom, night portrait etc. All to no avail.
I have previously owned a Casio Exilim Z750 camera which I used to use when going out with my friends, but I was hoping that I could leave that at home as it didn't make sense to carry that as well.
Please has anybody else had similar problems? How can I fix this?
thanks,
Dom.

That sounds about right. Night shots (or low light shots) are not very good with the N95 or N95 8GB.
If you use the flash the subject needs to be about 1m from you otherwise the flash is useless.
640K Should be enough for everybody

IPhone 4S Blurry Photos w/Flash

My wife has a 64GB iPhone 4S; mine is the 16GB model. Mine takes great photos, with or without flash. Hers takes nice photos without the flash, but every shot taken with her flash turned on comes out blurry. Is there a setting somewhere we've not seen, or is it time for hers to have some work done on it?
Thanks, Jim

IPhone Camera - distorted vertical stripe in low light

My iPhone 5 camera (on rear side) recently started showing a distorted vertical stripe down the left side of the screen in low light. It starts as a yellowish stripe, and as the light gets lower, it turns more distorted with pinks and blues (see attached screenshot). In sunlight outdoors, there is no visible stripe. Any ideas on
what can be done about this?

Hi there met_fan,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Yellow photos in low light

My pictures taken in low light (indoor), just one small bulb for example gets yellowish. I tried to change the white balance but for no good. Is it just something I have to accept or what?

But of I look at photos taken with iPhone 5s for example, they're much more natural in the colors. Therefor I don't think that the bulb is the problem. I thought that my z1c was the best to take low light photos when I bought it almost one year ago. But oh no!

Ipod touch 4g camera looks..Grainy/static/fuzzy/blurry in low light

i got a brand new 32gb ipod touch and the picture is terrible in low light but outside its ok, i was in my room with my moms 3rd generation iphone and my 4th generation ipod and her iphone had better quality when i took a picture of my poster, mine looked grainy and hers was just dark, any one know if this is supposed to be like this?

There are several (hundred?) apps that can help the pic look better by adding more light to pics you have already taken. photoshop and camera flash come to mind. There are many more.

Camera wont take a photo - warning "Low light" on screen

The camera and phone have been working fine*, until today when I get the error message on screen "low light" when trying to take a picture. It is being used in a room with normal lighting.
The warning only goes away when I point the camera directly at a light bulb.
The camera refuses to take a photo, regardless whether the warning is displayed or not.
Changing from auto <-> night mode has no effect either.
Any suggestions?
*Apart from a few weeks ago, the video zoom in/out stopped working, although it did take photos and videos ok.

Iphone 4s frozen with low light on

My iPhone 4S just went black - but the low light is on on the back of the phone.. Tried restarting and also resetting without any success. Battery had 80% charge. Any help is appreciated.

@Zerole
Try putting your handset in DFU mode.
Plug your iPhone to your computer (don't worry if iTunes doesn't pick it up)
Power OFF the device
Press BOTH the Power and Home key at the same time for at least 10 secs
Release ONLY the Power button (keep the Home key pressed)
iTunes will have picked up your handset in Recovery Mode
*Screen MUST still be black and not showing the iTunes USB logo* If so, repeat above.
Now click Restore
You should see iTunes download (if not already) the lastest iOS firmware, you'll see the progress bar on the iPhone finally as it updates.
See how that goes.
It can take several goes to get the handset into DFU mode, the key is the iPhone screen is still OFF!

Nokia N8 camera - noisy photos in low light

I am dissapointed that N8 camera take very noisy photos in low light conditions. in the night the photos looks horible, but not only in the night, even if you are inside and there is no very much light then the photos are noisy.
I had the same problems with my old N73. After that I had a N95 8Gb and this phone tooks good photos even in the night. Now with N8 I am back to N73 noisy photos I can say that N95 8Gb photos are better than N8 photos, without exagerating.
Is there a camera application that I can use instead of original camera appl from Nokia in order to take better photos? Otherwise I would need to change my phone again

I tried the Camera Update from Betalabs and also I took the CameraPro 2.2 from Store. No changes, same noisy photos in Low light. CameraPro is a useless application, no improvements to original Camera appl from Nokia and has some bugs. Maybe only the Antishake option is good, since if using the dedicated button to take photos then sometime are blurred.
I think the LowLevelDriver for Camera is the problem in N8 photos, so no application can solved this. I read an article from Nokia and they said that intentionally changed the Camera behavior in order to have very good photos in good light, this causing noisy photos in low light. I can not understand this. If I want very good photos I would use a DSLR, but I want good photos in all conditions, like with N95 for example.

IPhone 5S Blurry Photos

Hi,
My iPhone 5S started taking Blurry pictures all of a sudden. I have tried cleaning the camera glass but to no help.
I have also tried resetting my phone but that didn't help either.
I even tried getting a new camera and got it fitted, but that also resulted in the same results, i.e. Blurry Pictures.
Could someone suggest anything to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Saurabh

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)
